Pros

Very nice products, contributors, employees

Cons

Daytrader mentality using elbows instead motivation and natural power. Very often hidden agenda of the senior management. No logical structure in sales and marketing leads to bleeding out / burning out young professionals, soon

Pros

- fun culture where you get to hear talks by photographers - adopts new technologies relatively early in the game - a really great place to learn and grow as a developer

Cons

- can handle shifts/re-orgs poorly with communication, leaving employees feeling unheard and unvalued.

Pros

WFH, good overall culture. Good people.

Cons

Leadership has been slow to stay current and modern in the workplace. The business is straddled with debt from a pervious investment company that had bought Getty and gutted it. Future is uncertain.
